BMW B58 Heat Exchanger – F* Essentials (G30 540i)
More power, less heat – here comes the heat thief!
Your B58 engine deserves better cooling, especially when tuned. The factory heat exchanger in this water to air intercooling system is often insufficient for tuned B58 engines, and rising coolant temperatures directly reduce performance. The F* Essentials core is larger, more efficient, and designed as a direct replacement for the OEM unit. The thick aluminum core maximizes heat dissipation and helps keep intake temperatures under control.
Installation is simple bolt on replacement for the factory unit, no rocket science required.
Features – Why upgrade?
- Higher cooling efficiency – Thick aluminum core ensures maximum cooling performance.
- Easy installation – Precision machined mounting points and direct fit hose connections.
- Direct fitment – Installs in the factory location without modifications.
- Built for hard driving – Designed to handle tuned and performance applications.
Fitment – Compatible models

Why is this upgrade worth it?
The factory heat exchanger is fine for daily driving, but once you increase boost or drive harder, improved cooling becomes critical. The F* Essentials upgraded heat exchanger helps maintain stable engine temperatures and consistent performance pull after pull.
